Sunday Dinners in switzerland.

The custom Of tic people in Switzer-
land in regard 70 n"a.s varies. Some
flmlies eat only twice u day,-break-
fast at ten and inner at four; others
have three meals Il day -cotfcc and
milk with bread in the morning,
luncheon or dinner ut noon and dinner
or supper at six or seven. On one
point they all agree and that is to go
out and eat on Sunday afternoon. The
habit is universal The whole family,
including children and servants, sally
forth. Perhaps they go through the
fields and climb steep hill to some
Little village where they eat and drink
in the hostel garden under grape
vine; or it may be they take boat on
the lake, and, landing at some well
known inn, take their dinner or supper
there; or very possibly they go to a
cafe not five minutes walk from their
own door, Wherever they 90 they are
pretty sure to pay twice as much and
not eat half as well as they do at home,
but. it is the fashion and so they
bravely endure the headaches and in

The following story is told of a
couple of Gotham lawyers, well known
in Troy, who went down on the eve
ming trains. one from the North
Woods and the other from the Berk-
shire hills, and met on the deck of the
steamer shortly after she had left her
dock.
Hello. Brown, said Black, "glad
to see you. Got room?"
"Half a one" replied Brown. 1.-THE
other half, Judging from an overcoat
and satchel found there, appears to
be occupied by some old hayseed who
will probably snore all night and
make life miserable for me-
just my case" returned Black;
only should imagine from his effects
that my roommate is tramp.
'Such being the state of affairs.
suppose we see if we can get one of
the rooms together and let the farmer
and the tramp occupy the other" said
Brown.
Agreed" assented Black, and they
started down to the purser's office and
stated their grievance. The purser
looked carefully over his books and
then remarked with assumed gravity:
Il am sorry for you, gentlemen,
but as Mr.. Black appears to be al
ready sharing Mr.. Browns stateroom,
and vice versa, will be unable to do
anything for YOU
Mutual apologies followed, and
when quiet had been restored Brown
accounted for the seedy appearance of
his belongings by explaining that he
had driven several miles that morning
through the mud, and Black laid the
blame for his rusty looking bag on his
wife, who had mended a broken strap
with hair-pin, and then they went to
their room and sampled a portion of
the contents of both bags Troy

sort of funny standing perched on one
of the logs near the shore. | made up
my mind to see what it was about,
and hid in clump of bushes The
crane had bug in his BILL and he
kept dropping it into the current till
it fioated past him. and then grabbed
it again and repeated the same per-

was trying to do. He looked at me
as if be was going to sleep The old
fellow kept the bug floating in front
of the log for half hour, when, all of
a sudden, a big pickerel came up to
the surface and made dive for the
bail. The pickerel was down the
cranes throat in less than second,
and Mr.. Crane tapped his wings and
flew away. He took the bug in his
bill, though. They look sleepy enough,
but they know more than good
many people-how to get their bread
